Sky Bingo

With so many bingo brands offering the same games and promotions, exclusives are the only way to really stand out from the crowd. Therefore, this month Sky Bingo have launched an exclusive new game - Mystical Bingo. It's a 50 ball game that has a woodland nature theme and gives you the chance to win up to £100.

Type Of Game: 50 Ball Bingo

Cost: 25p to £2

Open: 6pm to midnight

Jackpots: Community Jackpot (50% Winner, 50% community)

Extras: None

Special Features: Insect themed game

Sky's Mystical Bingo room opens from 6pm daily and it has a 'Tombola' type feel to it. When you enter the room you're offered the option of four tickets. Each ticket is priced differently - 25p, 50p, £1 and £2. The higher the ticket price then the higher the jackpot available to you should you win.

Community Jackpot

Players can only purchase one card per game. Once you've purchased your card it's then a small matter of crossing off your 10 numbers from the 50 ball pack. There's one full house prize on offer plus a Community Jackpot which is split 50/50 by the lucky winner and those playing.

Sky aren't the first Virtue Fusion brand to open a 50 ball bingo room. In 2014, Gala Bingo opened up Coconut Island to their players. As far as we're aware the games do differ in their mechanic. We do wonder whether we'll see more brands opening up their own exclusive rooms in the near future?

The £40 Hello

The arrival of Mystical Bingo also marks a bit of a revamp (again) at Sky Bingo. The site has had a bit of a makeover graphically, they've launched a new mobile app and their welcome offer has been renamed "The £40 Hello". This new player bonus is still one of the biggest on the Virtue Fusion platform although the recent £10 free treat bonus offer has now ended.

New players who deposit £5 at Sky Bingo will receive a £35 bingo bonus in the shape of £25 bonus cash and £10 of Rainbow Riches tickets. Interestingly Sky don't offer a games bonus which means less impact on newbies in terms of wagering terms, which do apply.
